Legend speaks of a mysterious River of Time that flows through the world, governing the cycle of time and existence. It is said that with the power of the Spring Autumn Cicada, one can defy this current—traveling upstream to the past.
Many dismiss this tale as mere myth, while others remain skeptical, uncertain of its truth.
Only a rare few truly knew in its existence.
For to use the Spring Autumn Cicada comes at a terrible cost—one must sacrifice their life, their body, and all of their cultivation to fuel its power.
Fang Yuan managed to reborn back by creating a rank nine killer move, sacrificing everything had.
With this rebirth, Fate Gu has now been restored, (with less than 50% of its strength). Heaven's Will and all of the Venerables have completely forgotten about the Destruction and War of Fate Gu. In short, Fang Yuan has returned to the start of his cultivation, with everything going back to how it originally began as well.
Although Fang Yuan, once again has to cultivate from the bottom, his current knowledge, inheritance, experience and attainments level were not to be trifled with.
Attainments level, starting from master level he has dream path, space path, metal path, wind path, cloud path, lightning path, information path, light path, sound path.
Grandmaster level he has blood path, strength path, star path, dark path, formation path, soul path, sword path, human path, wood path, food path, phantom path, luck path, ice and snow path.
Great Grandmaster level he has theft path, transformation path, rule path, qi path, fire path, wisdom path, water path, earth path, poison path, heaven path.
Quasi-supreme Grandmaster level he has time path, enslavement path.
And finally as a Supreme Grandmaster he has refinement path.
Fang Yuan pill path, weapon path, bone path is still in the ordinary level or even close to none as he has not touch or invested any time into any of these paths. Fang Yuan's flying is at Quasi-Grandmaster.
"With this rebirth everything is now back to how it has started even the Spring Autumn Cicada has reverted back into rank 6 and is even filled with Heaven's Will, lucky for me the Heaven's Will in Spring Autumn Cicada cannot read my mind but only observe my actions if not I would be in a much bigger trouble." The Heaven's Will in Spring Autumn Cicada can make the Gu uses its ability even without the owner consent. But of course the Heaven's Will is not very that versatile as the ability to go back to time depends heavily on the current condition of Spring Autumn Cicada.
"Spring Autumn Cicada is now recuperating, I will have to plan for the future again..." Unlikely previously Fang Yuan's brows were wrinkled deeply and is having a somewhat hard time remembering his past 500 years live.
"It looks like I will still have to follow my previous action first before I can even make a big change." Due to Heaven's Will and possibly other Venerable observing Fang Yuan, he is not able to just left Gu Yue Clan and do whatever he likes even thought he knows it will be a safer and a faster option for him to cultivate.
"Heaven's Will and the other Venerable will definitely not be giving me an easy time to cultivate. But they will also not slow me down as Heaven's Will needs me to be as least a Rank 6 Gu Immortal to be able to stop Spectral Soul Demon Venerable, and other Venerable needs me to have at least Quasi-Venerable strength to participate in the Fate gu War."
"It seems that during my Gu master journey will mostly be the same with only a few changes, but when I reach rank 6 I would be able t-" Fang Yuan thought was interrupted by the opening of his door.
"Big brother, why are you standing in the rain by the window side?"
A thin youth, slightly shorter than Fang Yuan but his face truly resembles Fang Yuan's features. As Fang Yuan turned his head to look at this teenager, a glimpse of killing intent flash by his eyes and was quickly replaced with a cold and eerie gaze.
"It's you huh, my twin little brother."
Fang Zheng head was lowered the moment he entered the room so he did not notice Fang Yuan killing intent and gaze.
"I saw that big brother's window was not shut closed, so I thought I'd come in here and close it. Tomorrow is the Awakening Ceremony, it's so late and you haven't gone to bed yet big brother. If Uncle and Aunty knew, they would probably be worried."
Fang Zheng was not a bit surprised with Fang Yuan's coldness. Ever since he was little, his older brother had always been cold and indifferent. Fang Zheng would wonder, maybe a genius is just like this, being rather different from ordinary people.
Looking at his younger brother, Fang Yuan truly had a moment where he considered killing him, because at this time, this younger brother had not yet been revealed to possess Grade-A talent, which would make Fang Yuan's punishment lighter, as he, Fang Yuan, a so-called "future Grade-A talent," killing a mortal was nothing. Of course, Fang Yuan would not do it, as killing Fang Zheng would not only cause the clan to despise him for killing a family member, but also trigger Heaven's Will and alert other Venerables, interfering with Fang Yuan's future plans.
Fate loved to play a prank.
A pair of twins—the older one only had C-grade talent but had been known as a genius for over a dozen years. The younger one, who was always overlooked, was instead the one with A-grade talent. Later on, in the first life, the older one managed to become a rank six blood immortal powerhouse, while the younger one was presumed dead.
After the first rebirth, in the second life, the older one even managed to reach a higher cultivation level, becoming a Venerable titled the Heaven Refining Demon Venerable, while the younger one was not only still alive but also attained a higher rank than his older brother had in his previous life, becoming a rank seven blood immortal and even a master of the Demon Judgment Board, a blood path rank eight immortal Gu House.
It was truly funny and amusing depending on how one looks at it. Then what about this life?
"Revenge is not my intention, even though Fang Zheng is used by Star Constellation Immortal Venerable to plot against me, I can change it." With that thought he couldn't help but laugh and gave his younger brother a faint glance. "You can leave."
Fang Zheng's heart shook as he felt like his brother's eyes were sharp like an ice blade, seemingly penetrating the deepest parts of his heart.
Under such a gaze, he felt like he was naked in the snow, unable to hold any secrets.
"Then I'll see you tomorrow, big brother." Not daring to say anymore, Fang Zheng slowly closed the door and left.
Fang Yuan on the other hand, did not waste anymore time looking at the door that was Fang Zheng just left and went back to his own thoughts.
"Hmm… how should I deal with this current situation…" Fang Yuan's thoughts quickly collided as he considered many scenarios and conclusions.
